【ChatGPT】本地大學逐漸放寬對ChatGPT使用限制 Major universities are gradually relaxing restrictions on the use of ChatGPT
人工智能技術不斷進步，而且在各個領域的應用愈來愈廣泛，本地大學亦逐漸應用人工智能技術於教育之中。然而，對於學生和老師來說，使用人工智能技術是否合適，仍存在爭議。
香港中文大學校長段祟智表示，不會禁止學生使用ChatGPT，但使用時必須要申報及通知有關老師。他強調，AI技術是一種新方法，各界應擁抱新技術，大學應正視並考慮將其融入教學，但學生仍應獨立完成作業和考試，不應依賴外部幫助。
段崇智認為，AI是一把「雙刃劍」，教育和科研界別應該將ChatGPT視為一種研究工具，以幫助他們更好地完成工作。因此，他們不應該抗拒使用ChatGPT，而是應該思考如何將其融入到教育中，探索不同的應用方法。
另外，雖然香港大學在2月17日宣布臨時禁止學生在所有課堂、課程作業和評估使用ChatGPT或其他AI工具，但最新在3月8日表示，不會限制教師在課堂上使用ChatGPT和生成式人工智能（Generative AI），學生如需使用，則仍然需要事先獲得教師的書面同意豁免，此政策將在第二學期後結束。
香港教育大學亦公布，學生可在課堂上使用AI輔助工具，但為確保公開透明，學生須申報在提交的功課中有沒有使用人工智能，以達致思考學習的目的。教大校長張仁良直言：「你禁得幾多？」他指出，AI技術難以禁止，認為老師應擁抱新技術，以提升學生學習體驗與教學。他期望將AI相關課程轉為必修科，並提醒AI缺乏人的因素，而老師的存在價值將是其人情味。
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been advancing rapidly, and its applications in various fields are becoming increasingly widespread, including in Hong Kong's university education. However, there is still ongoing debate among students and teachers regarding whether the use of AI technology is appropriate.
Rocky Tuan, the president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong stated that the university will not prohibit students from using ChatGPT, but they must declare its use and inform relevant teachers. He emphasized that AI technology is a new and innovative approach that should be embraced by all sectors, including universities. While universities should consider integrating AI into their teaching, students should still complete their assignments and exams independently, without relying on external assistance.
Tuan also pointed out that AI is a "double-edged sword". He believes that educators and researchers should regard ChatGPT as a research tool that can help them complete their work more effectively. Therefore, they should not resist the use of ChatGPT, but instead, think about how to integrate it into education and explore different application methods.
Also, the University of Hong Kong initially announced a temporary ban on students using ChatGPT or other AI tools in all classes, course assignments, and assessments. However, on March 8, they stated that they will not limit teachers from using ChatGPT and generative AI in classes. Nevertheless, students still need to obtain written consent from their teachers to use them. This policy will remain in effect until the end of the second semester of this year.
The Education University of Hong Kong has announced that students are now permitted to use AI-assisted tools during classes. However, to ensure transparency, students must explicitly declare in their submitted assignments that they have utilized AI for reflective learning purposes. Stephen Yan-Leung Cheung, the president of the Education University of Hong Kong, pointed out that it is difficult to ban AI technology. He believes that teachers should embrace new technology to enhance student learning experiences and teaching. He hopes to make AI-related courses mandatory and reminds us that AI lacks human factors. Therefore, the value of teachers lies in their human touch.
